The design approach of this home is about enjoying life in a relaxed and contemporary style inspired by nature and traditional craftsmanship. An earthy colour palette was chosen to celebrate the surrounding natural environment while the artistry of leather goods, metal details and woodwork imbues the home with a sense of elegance.
Located at the centre of the house, the staircase with wooden wall panels is built with marble handrail that winds its way up and mirrors the shape of the hand-painted patinated staircase edge. It connects the floors from the basement to the rooftop.
The terrace on the ground floor with an outdoor fireplace
The indoor-outdoor living concept is adopted by utilising the terraces and rooftop. The terrace on the ground floor extends from the living room to an outdoor fireplace, making it a cosy area to enjoy leisure time with family and friends. Another terrace linking to the kitchen allows users to have brunch or coffee with a view. On the rooftop, a barbecue pit and a pizza oven transform the space into a spot for outdoor entertaining and for watching sunset.
The indoor-outdoor living concept is adopted with three outdoor areas
